Workplace Discrimination

Call Our Skilled Hartford Employment Lawyer Today

Do you believe that you have been terminated from your job due to your age, race, your gender, a disability, a request for an accommodation or for family medical leave (“FMLA”), pregnancy, or your religious beliefs? If so, your firing may constitute a wrongful termination. Laws dictate that an individual cannot be fired for these reasons. Yet, every year, an untold number of employees are terminated from their positions by employers who have acted unlawfully. Often, these wronged employees have a legitimate case against their employers, and can seek monetary damages.

At Zayas Law Firm, we understand the confusion and anger that can come with workplace discrimination and a wrongful termination. That is why we take an aggressive approach to gathering the facts and, if necessary, seeing that we do everything we can so that an employer's wrongdoing is rectified before the law. If you believe you have a claim against a former employer, we invite you to contact us now.

Your wrongful firing can be addressed. Call our Hartford employment law attorney at (860) 854-9156 today.

Types of Discrimination

There are both state and federal laws that mandate equal opportunity employment and protection from workplace discrimination. Despite these laws, however, employees regularly find themselves the target of harassment and wrongful terminations due an employer's discrimination against them. While most people think of race or gender when it comes to discrimination, there are actually a number of different, equally illegitimate reasons why an employer might terminate an employee.

Discrimination can be due to:

• Race
• Age
• Gender
• Religion
• Sexual-orientation
• Country of origin
• Pregnancy
• Disability
• Marital Status

If you believe that one (or more) of these factors contributed to your termination, then you may have a legitimate claim against your former employer. At Zayas Law Firm, our attorney is ready to carefully assess the facts of your claim, collect any relevant evidence or testimony, and develop a thorough and compelling case on your behalf.
